MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. — A former Central Michigan basketball player who claimed she lost her scholarship partly because she's heterosexual has failed to persuade a federal appeals court to revive her lawsuit against the school.

CMU said Brooke Heike's scholarship was revoked by coach Sue Guevara after the 2007-08 season based solely on her attitude and an unwillingness to work hard. She had played her freshman season under a different coach.
